Noteworthy maybe, that the conversion won't really give any advantages for existing files that were written with ext3. So I have actually copied my files to a temp disk and back. The grub-install failed for me - I guess because I did that with a 9.10 live CD on a 9.04 which was upgraded to 9.10 where GRUB is not upgraded. I could fix that then with the 9.10 live CD. Thanks for the useful article.
